Hi guys. I've done some searching and read the faqs but I just wanted to be perfectly clear on something before i do anything. I know you guys gotta hate newbie questions.

Innoculated jars 4 days ago and no signs of growth. There is a little condensation on the inside of jars (a few drops here and there) and have kinda gotten the impression that the holes used for innoculation shouldn't be covered with tape. They are currently covered with scotch tape.

Should i remove the tape? I found a few posts pertaining to this and they said its best to remove tape and flip jars. But I wasn't sure what stage of colinization they were refering to.

So should I flip jars and/or remove tape at this point to get colinization going?

I'd say give it at least one more week and if still nothing, then it could be a number of things. Did you let the jars cool long enough before innoculating? What temp are you keeping the jars in? What is you substrate?
